I played Fallout 3 when it came out, and just got bored with it fairly quickly. It’s got that Bethesda vibe where everything is great at first, but then you start to get further into the game and everything starts to seem copy+pasted to make the game artificially larger and longer. Is it like that at all? I see it mentioned as a great game all the time, but I also saw that about 3 when it came out.

The first World and a half make a strong impression. It is when you get to the third world that it starts really falling apart.

And it falls apart bad. One of those games I had to force myself to finish.

Yeah I thought it was telling that every glowing review I read mentioned like the same 3-5 story beats and nobody seemed to mention any late game stuff.

Seemed like the game had a good opening but anyone who bothered to play it till the end was unimpressed. Telling cuz New Vegas also has a pretty “meh” main quest ending.

New Vegas at least has some interesting stuff after the first two settlements. Outer Worlds is one of my most disappointing games in a while, it just keeps getting worse as you go.

Yeah I don’t know anything about the world the game is set in so idk how it goes downhill. New Vegas has interesting shit in almost every corner of the game world.
